Granger joins Heat

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Per WOJ

:lol

[Proxy]

ha, what a bitch move

[Spurs9]

Is McRoberts and Granger signing for the minimum or something? Lebron wants more money, Bosh wants more and Wade probably won't take a cut. Where is the money coming from?

[timtonymanu]

:lol Riley

[Anonymous Cowherd]

McBob = MLE

Grange = BAE

Hat have used both their exceptions, which make sense. Now only have vet min until big 3 are sorted out one way or another.

[Mr. Body]

Not bad. You guys are morons.

[spot2180]

Maybe Lebron is leaving.

[monkeypunk]

Bitch made move by Granger, coat tailing mofo...

Hope the Pacers knock him out next year, lol.

[Malik Hairston]

Really, really bad player, tbh..

Desperation move by one of the worst and most overrated GMs in the league..

[PublicOption]

ooooooh, now we can beat SA......nope

lebron, kyrie and wiggens sounds alot better.

[r0drig0lac]

LeBron is gone

[Mr Bones]

Granger is no longer the star player he once was, but for the Heat to get him at what is essentially a Jeff Ayres/Cory Joseph price is a smart move... It's impossible to argue that unless you're a completely unobjective homer.

[Malik Hairston]

Granger fucking sucks..I still can't believe Spurs fans were gushing and begging for him last year:lmao..

[BranderC]

Granger doesn't "suck" - it would suck to have him as your best, or even your third-best player at this point, but presumably that's not what Miami is going for. If the Heat bring back James, Wade, and Bosh they'll be better than they were last year (assuming Napier isn't worse than Cole).

Spurs are still better though.

[Chinook]

Well, the Heat have their Bosh and James replacements.

[Chinook]

Granger fucking sucks..I still can't believe Spurs fans were gushing and begging for him last year:lmao..

And they're still acting like he's not awful.

Granger was one of the worst players in the NBA last year:lol..

3.6 PER in the playoffs with a 38.7% TRUE SHOOTING:lmao:lmao..

He is now a spot-up shooter that can't shoot, and has no defensive impact following his injuries..smh @ NBA fans being brainwashed by names of players..

[ceperez]

Interesting.... Rashard Lewis can be had by the Spurs for the BAE. All he gets in Miami is the veteran minimum!

Oh, he sucked all the ass in the P'offs - but that was for a team that was coming apart at the seams and expected him to be a leader for them. He's not a leader, never has been. Miami won't expect him to do more than help keep the defense honest, and I can't see any reason to think he won't be able to do that.

How can a Spurs fan ignore how important a player's role is to his production? If you put Patty Mills as our starting PG and expected him to create his own offense he'd go from being a hero to the new Beno. Good coaches know how to use players to best advantage. Spoelstra is a good coach. Vogel, maybe not so much.

[MarCowMar]

Is Granger brought in for chemistry reasons? Pacers seemed to love the guy and things collapsed soon after he left.

[BranderC]

First reaction: Sweet Jesus no.
Second reaction: Pop would probably turn him into Bruce Bowen 2.0, somehow.
Third reaction: Nah.

Um, you realize Granger played for the Clippers in the playoffs, not the Pacers, right?:lol..

The Clippers have a good system, all they needed from him was to eat minutes and make spot-up 3-pointers, and he was completely unable to do that..in Miami, that's all their role players are asked to do..

Granger is fine as an 11th/12th man on a contender, like Bonner from last year, for example..anything more, and you're going to be severely disappointed..

[ceperez]

First reaction: Sweet Jesus no.
Second reaction: Pop would probably turn him into Bruce Bowen 2.0, somehow.
Third reaction: Nah.

I would sign him just to take away this offensive option from the Heat.

nope. mcroberts signed for the full MLE, Granger for the Bi-annual... assuming the big 3 return all they can give out from now on is vet-minimum deals

[benstanfield]

Not bad. You guys are morons.

[barakz21]

Lol what a bitch. I remember during the 2012 playoffs he was acting like a tough guy and would always be in an altercation with the heat. Now he coattails them to get a ring

[703 Spurz]

Miami signing a bunch of players again as if it matters. Granger is Lebron James 2.0, signing with champion contenders instead of leading his own team to glory.

[texbound]

I'm a little confused. Miami created cap space by the big 3 opting out, so how can use the MLE? I know they retain bird rights for the 3, but shouldn't they have to use there available cap space to sign players?

Nevermind...Miami did not renounce their rights, so i guess they stay on their salary.

[Anonymous Cowherd]

If they have cap space, the deals come out of the cap space. If the big 3 re-up, they get them using the exceptions.

[xmas1997]

Question, if both Granger and McRoberts both agreed to sign with Miami predicated on James signing there, if James goes elsewhere, can they cancel their agreements?

[DPG21920]

They can do anything they want up until the 10th (or past the 10th) depending on when they sign their actual contract.

[weeks]

Someone post that tweet of him celebrating the Dallas victory over the heat. Hilarious now

Thanks

[FireMicoHalili]

I thought his leg was dead and needed constant treatment just for it to work on a regular basis? Must have misread, oh well. Good character guy nonetheless.

[Darius McCrary]

Pretty funny how white Canadian has to log into gnsf accounts to validate his slant takes, tbh :lmao

When can you actually sign players to contracts? Is it at 12:00am on the 10th or the 11th?

[DPG21920]

12:01 on the 10th iirc

Yes.

[Ice009]

Yes.

http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q103

Thanks. Had a quick look at that link. Why are the dates different in other years?

[Mel_13]

They close the books for an NBA season on June 30th. The salary cap and tax levels for the new season, among other things, are calculated during the moratorium. It appears that the dates on that list represent the 7th business day in July for each year.
